GARRETT MAY FIGHT.
The Telegraph Deal May Not be Finally
Settled After All.


New YORK, Oct. S.-The statement in
morning paper to the effect that Robert
Garrett, referring to the absorption of the
Baltimore and Ohio telegraph lines by the
Western Union Company, said Its no
trade, gentlemen caused considerable talk
to-day, but no excitement. Western Union
went off a point, but that was not attributed
to Mr.. Garrett's alleged denial of the sale.
George Gould treated the story laughingly.
He did not believe that Mr.. Garrett was
correctly reported. He said Although
the collateral has not been turned
over, the agreement has been
signed and is in our possession.
There is no Baltimore and Ohio telegraph
now, as their wires are a part of our system
Jay Gould also denied the statement in
the same article that the Baltimore and
Ohio owed Mr.. Garrett personally between
$1,000, 600 and $4,0000 900. Mr.. Garrett still
refuses to see reporters or to say whether
the big telegraph deal has been legally COM
pleted or not. An evening paper says he
is in rage, and that the lighting spirit Of
his father is now on top.
